The temple is in a wild and evocative landscape. We can also visit the <strong>Hellenistic-era <\/strong><strong>theatre<\/strong> on <strong>Mount Barbaro<\/strong>. The cavea is partially carved into the rock, and the cave is known as <strong>Grotta <\/strong><strong>Vanella<\/strong>. The grotto is a sacred place full of mystery and is connected to an older Sanctuary (in <strong>Contrada Mango<\/strong>). The cave and the Sanctuary create an &#8216;indigenous&#8217; context of extraordinary importance.<\/p>\n<p>These places have extraordinary archaeological value and, together with the quarries, represent the roots of Segesta, which also has precious Arab and Norman remains.<\/p>\n<p>Crossing the historic centre, we step back into the Middle Ages. Today, all that remains of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calatafimisegestaitinerario.com\/paginemonumenti\/CastelloEufemio.html\"><strong>Eufemius Castle (or Phimes Castle)<\/strong><\/a> are the ruins of the two towers at the north and south ends of the main fa\u00e7ade. Once, the castle was a fortified site for the defence and control of the roads leading to Segesta. Then the manor became an outpost for <strong>Frederick II&#8217;s troops<\/strong> in the fight against the Muslims. Later it was the castle of the feudal lords of Calatafimi. From here, we could start a new journey to discover the <a href=\"\/en\/?p=47855\"><strong>castles of western Sicily<\/strong><\/a>. But before we go, let&#8217;s take some time to enjoy the view from the Belvedere over the valley. Art calls for art. The time has come to set out again to reach the <strong>Pianto Romano district<\/strong>. This place is rich in history, less ancient but no less glorious. It is part of the Segesta Archaeological Park.<\/p>\n<p>Moving away from the town, we continue along the Strada Provinciale and reach the top of the hill where the battle between Garibaldi&#8217;s troops and the Bourbon army took place. Here, shrouded in surreal silence, stands the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.piantoromanocalatafimi.it\/\">Pianto Romano Shrine<\/a><\/strong> and its <strong>obelisk<\/strong>, which preserves the bones of the soldiers killed in the Battle of Calatafimi on 5 May 1860.<\/p>\n<p>The Mausoleum is 30 metres high, it can be seen from a great distance and is a triumph of Italian neoclassical art with Greek elements. Its severe and clean lines are in perfect harmony with the archaeological context of the area.<\/p>\n<p>To visit the sites, you can buy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coopculture.it\/it\/prodotti\/biglietto-combinato-parco-archeologico-di-segesta-sito-storico-artistico-di-pianto-romano\/\"><strong>combined ticket online<\/strong><\/a> or at the ticket office of the Segesta Archaeological Park.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of our full immersion in nature, art and culture, we can take an energising and refreshing dip in the clear, nearby waters of the wonderful <a href=\"\/en\/?p=5815\"><strong>Castellammare del Golfo<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A pentagram of flavours now awaits us: from the sweet notes of cassatelle alla ricotta cheese to the tempting ones of busiate with pork ragout, porchetta, caciotta degli elimi. And also <a href=\"\/en\/?p=23140\"><strong>oranges<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and prickly <\/strong><strong>pears<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t had enough, discover our route from<strong><a href=\"\/en\/?p=1951\">Segesta to Selinunte<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":53174,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1933,1918,1932],"tags":[],"luogo":[2980],"stagione":[1874,1877,1875,1876],"class_list":["post-63481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sicilia-archeologica-en","category-arte-e-cultura-en","category-luoghi-della-cultura-en","luogo-trapani","stagione-autumn","stagione-spring","stagione-summer","stagione-winter"],"acf":{"sottotitolo":"the settlement closest to the mythical civilisation of the Elymians","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Dettaglio","paragrafo_1":"<p><strong>Calatafimi Segesta<\/strong>, in the province of <a href=\"\/en\/localita\/trapani\/\"><strong>Trapani<\/strong><\/a>, is part of the archaeological site included in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcodisegesta.com\/home\"><strong>Segesta <\/strong><strong>Archaeological Park <\/strong><\/a>(<a href=\"\/en\/itinerario\/parchi-archeologici-di-segesta-selinunte-e-lilibeo-trapani\/\"><strong>itinerario<\/strong><\/a>).
